    I get it that someone could love Jesus more then life itself, but i also know that if you know that Jesus loves you more then his own life, you would never consider ending yours. THE ONLY THING MIKE WAS MISSING, that put him into a psychiatric ward three times was the knowledge that he was loved by Jesus.
    What a freakin crying shame.
    Love the truth

    Suicide is a word that will piss me off more then most word man can use to define his solution to any aspect of his life. The tangled legs me and my bother had for more then fifty years were untangled with his unreasonable thoughts of suicide. The embrace i held him in was separated with the words “This is not about you”.
    I understand there is a time to shed this clay shell and fly into the beautiful moment of the truth you started with, but i know that only those that dont feel the beauty of love, would do it before that moment.
    I have seen so many give up because they didnt know that the pain they felt was temporary, and the peace they thought was never to be felt was a day a month a year a moment away.
    If you noticed i said that “only those that dont feel the beauty of love”, i didnt say only those that dont feel the beauty of Gods love, because love is true any way its felt, and as long as you feel love you will survive, and never give up.

    I’ll be there for them and I will stay…
    Whether these words were spoken from a song, a thought, a mind, a heart, or an angel from heaven, they are true.
    love you bg..

    There has been a part of me my whole life that has known that this God stuff wasn’t about me knowing God because i knew that all that God stuff was to much for me to get, and was to crazy to understand from most people that wanted me to feel it. So i danced this life like a little butterfly.. well maybe a little bumblebee thinking that i would mess with this God stuff someday, but i really thought that just before my last breath i would give one of those awh shit God im sorry prayers.
    Its good to know the hail Mary pray would have been OK, but its better to feel him sooner.
    love always

    Mc is saying he wants to be an evangelistic preacher, and he wants to be known as Cat Robertson. He says all mice made a pack with the devil under the evil rule of the coyote, and therefore must suffer till the end of time. THEY CAN ONLY BE FORGIVEN if they repent to the congregation of the united church of cats, along with tithing 27% of all there cheese.

    Ive lost all respect for his bony ass, and im buying a squirrel to replace him with. How can such a perfect kitten end up such a feral cat.

    As the world suffers from every corner, as the people scream for peace, as mothers beg for the hate to stop, and children cry in there innocent pain never felt, man walks blind to the beauty of love.
    love the truth

    Doug,
    I don’t believe my Father was one who ever walked blind to the beauty of Love. I think the beauty of Love he had for others and himself was soo incredibly strong and all he ever lived for was for others to see the beauty of perfection within themselves and when they refused to see and he couldn’t help them he was desperate. Thoughts of suicide are not unreasonable because we will never really know what goes on inside the mind of humans unless they share. PAIN is pain no matter where it derives from and it hurts and we all deal with it in our own ways. We THINK the pain is temporary which is why some drink until they are numb, some cry until they fall asleep, some get very depressed, some do drugs and escape, etc…ultimately all we want is for the pain to go away, but it never will it ISN’T temporary. Pain is a part of our process and we have to accept it. Acceptance is very hard…and some can’t accept it and can’t live with it. We can’t judge each other for how we deal with it. No one person has a better way of dealing with it. What we can do for EACH OTHER is be there when they come to us for help and we can sit with them and hold their hand and let them know that regardless of that pain they feel we will not judge…we will listen and love.

    When the action of someone you love is perceived to have a negative impact upon them or others they love I believe it would be in poor judgement to sit idly by and allow them to take that action when you feel there judgement is confused. I dont feel that as being judgemental, but just being in love with that person.

    Henry Ward Beecher:
    It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship.

    I thank God for the people in my life who are courageous enough to challenge me when they see that my judgment is in error and that I am about to do something that might be harmful to me or to someone I love. Some things are just flat out wrong or stupid and it’s not very loving to allow a friend to go headlong into something like that. Just listening might be the easier course of action, but it’s certainly not the most loving.

    There is an enormous pain in the acknowledgment of truth, and a beauty in it that is greater then its pain, but it is worth the journey.
    The whine, the cry, the confusion, is only judged by the lies of the mind that dosent feel the love of its heart.
    The truth of love is always whispered between the tears of those that are deaf and the hearts that feels it.
    Its easy to feel beaten its easy to give up, but its better to fight all that is trying to beat you.
    JUST MY OPINION..not judging you..

    love doug

    You know how much i love your daddy. He was a great man, but he was just a man. Know matter how much you want to feel he was more then that, the truth will be he was just a man, and im a better one cause i dont smoke. He would want you to know that there is no man better then the one that died on the cross, but there is no man better then you.
    When i say man i include women.. i think god dose to… i hope
    love doug

    Doug, I’m having to go to work on this Sat. morn and thought I’d catch up here before I go and I’m so glad I did. Your loving words of wisdom are so very helpful to me and just AWESOME! By george I think you’ve got it!

    And as far as mc and his “new” dreams about preaching and changing his name to cat robertson, well, He’s gotta be a step up from that other robertsons wierd ideas!

    To those of you who do not know my mother-in-law committed suicide 8 yrs. ago. Unless you have been through such a thing you cannot say with surety what you would do. And to those who say you would never do such a thing to yourself as suicide, I say you have not yet discovered your true self! EVERYONE who has a belly button is capable of such action. To say you aren’t is to deny your humanness.

    Peace
    Geo

    Geo, You make a good point. None of us can predict what we might do in any given situation. I am sorry for what your family has been through and pray God’s continued healing hand upon you all.
